Do you have any closeups of the gun? Guijas are AVA 2, so I'm considering grabbing a second one and converting it to be firing the gun myself.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking?

The only mods I did to the gun were to remove the part that helps attach it to the back. Clippers, then a file, then some GS to tidy up the scarring.

The thumbhole stock and open spock hand assisted with the mounting. The hand pose itself readily accepted the gun and all I really did otherwise was bend the bottom 2 fingers slightly to hold it in place. Then glue it down.

Have to say that TAG looks absolutely cracking Chromedog, top work.

Hello All

Just wanted to show pics of my Yu Jing Army. I didn't paint this but I did take the photo and put the light sabres on it

Hey guys,

Just started Infinity after getting the starter set with some birthday money I had at the start of the month. Just finished some dudes and thought I would share.

Will post more as I go

Nice stuff! I like the white/tan panO especially.

Bakunin Lizard TAG!

Looks fantastic Killionaire, beautiful paint job on such a lovely miniature.

What stands out for me is the lovely smooth white paint, and the detail you've put into the base - is that detail all freehanded on?

Yeah, that's quite fancy. I wish they didn't make it in such a static pose, but your paintwork is splendid.

Thanks guys,
White's a love of mine for paint. I hate doing it mechanically, but it just feels colorful and fun when it works out. White-Orange-Charcoal is such a classic combination, you see it in scifi stuff everywhere.

The base is one of Warsenal's Tunguska bases. It's three peices of etched Acryllic pasted on top of each other. Very shallow, but detailed well. Just a layer of wash on basecoat, then ghosting with grey for dashes.

Painted Bootleg Penthesilea

Rest of the photos in my P&M blog (link in my sig image.) Check it out.

You take your time, Red, but I think it's quite worth it

Small update to my painting thread over here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/493203.page#8550678 It seems be turning into a bit of a terrain thread!

I've been ramping up my interest in Infinity lately. only two games played so far, but here's a few of my Corregidor models.

Gecko


Mobile Brigadas

I like yellow on the nomads. Also I respect the choice to leave off the antennae things. Alters the look a bit.

Fantastic work Tomjoad, agreed the yellow looks great. Especially in the strong tones you have used.

And that Penthouse Red Harvest? Just Wow.. absolutely incredible..

Yellow is hard to paint properly. You nailed it. Great to see yellow powered armour in Infinity.

This isn't mine, but from the Infinity FB group - had to share it!

That is pretty stunning! Great composition, paintwork and superb attention to detail.

And something about the idea that Star Wars is still showing several centuries into the future is quite reassuring!

That is epic,

Soo much detail.

What, your command doesn't issue enough ammo? Take some of mine. Slightly used, of course.

Excuse the shinyness, it's got a layer of satin varnish and I'm out of dullcote.

Very nice Loki! Props for duplicating the studio color scheme, I'm too intimidated by Angel's painting to paint anything like CB shows us to! lol

When I started with Infinity, I got into Haqqislam because the models were great and because I really liked the official scheme. When I got my first models I thoght of doing my own scheme, but it would have ignored half of my reasoning for starting Haqqislam.

I also do my own little changes though for many reasons. Sometimes I just like it more, like the dark cabling beneath the armour. The official scheme has light grey cabling. Also I leave off a lot of small details Angel does like freehand faction symbols and little spots of colour because I have pretty bad vision (astigmatism in my left eye makes it hard to focus on the details) and a really, really unsteady hand. That was particularly bad on this model and a lot of the edge highlighting is fairly sloppy because of it

Even then, Fox probably STILL has the rights to it ... (They retain the release rights to epIV in perpetuity - ESB and ROTJ elapse in 2020).

Cross-posted from the Infinity main forums

I was so stoked for the statline for the awesomely-named Clandestine Action Team LOCUST, that I converted one up for use immediately.



Between breaker combi rifles, D-charges, drop bears, grenades and ODD infiltration goodness, what more could PanO ask for?

Higher AVA.

Lovely work you did.

Fancy!

Nice Locust proxy! I hope CB will produce them as fast as possible, I need want one too!



Something from me too, could get something finished these days, here it is: my Vertigo Zond

Awesome, the freehand is both characterful and well executed

Yeah, the shark face definitely gives it some character that i think the zond model lacks a little bit.

Thanks guys

Cracking work on the Zond!

The face is a brilliant addition, is it freehand ?

The shark face is freehand and also the Zond's logo. Actually it is still easier for me to paint it than to make my own decals or something else...

That sculpt still holds its own, definitely.

'Penthouse' was a term I think from here and Data Sphere re. people not being able to remember/spell Penthesilea
But, I would like to see a penthouse!

Thanks Pacific.

Finished the Boarding Shotgun Akalis


More in my Blog-- link in my sig. Currently working on the AP rifle Janissary.

Awesome, very bright and shiney!

Here are some shots of a Flamestrike mission that I played a couple of weekends ago. My models are in the foreground, but this is more of a showcase of my friends' terrain is than it is a look at my minis. I recommend zooming in on the gallery page for a better look.

That really is some cool looking terrain!

Makes all the difference.

Nice idea of using plastic bases for the tokens, although I've found the Mantic ones are a little bit better as they have a bevelled edge so you can get your fingers under them.

In preparation for HS3, my Riot Grrl Haris Link with Spitfire and Specialist Operative. Painted in only six days

Great stuff

Hah. We did the same thing with Riot Grrls, with the same color scheme. I put icons as well on the thigh plates too.

Good work! I don't get why people rag on the Riot Grrl models so much. They work with a solid job.

Dammit, I thought my colour scheme would be unique! I go and repaint them, no two Grrl squads shall wear the same outfit!
Well the combi rifles are too small IMO but the rest of them is nicely sculpted! But regarding their performance during the games they failed their job almost every time I deployed them. More precise the one with the Spitfire, maybe she felt lonely...

Absolutely fantastic. Think that looks better than the official colour scheme.

Thanks Pacific, that'll keep me motivated to eventually finish my Tsyklon, Überfallkommando, Avicenna, second Lunokhod, Salyut, Moiras, Spitfire-Prowler, "Lizard" pilot... just too much!!!

Some stuff off the Angel Giraldez FB group that I thought was worth sharing!

I've seen those first PanO models on facebook before, and they always astound me how well they're painted.

I'm all about that base...

I haven't seen them before. Blimey. Stunning. Thanks for the link Pacific.

Yea, thanks for the Pan-O pic. They look fantastic and it's always great to see armies/minis in colors that aren't typical.

Finished painting a Kazak spetsnaz.

Gorgeous.

Looks awesome.

Not too sure about the blue and white stripes, personal taste, though they are well done.

Love the freehand Unit Symbol.

Excellent paint job, but could Corvus had made those models any more inappropriate? LOL

what's inappropriate about them?
They are clothed (that's a suit they are wearing).

Can't really do "riot grrlz" without them having some kind of protest about patriarchal social control mores.

Scylla and Drakios, about to be reinforcements for the Acontecimento Sectorial (really random that they're now showing up for SAA, but very welcome).

Need to get their bots done up though of course.

Nice, I love how the golden brown compliments the dull grey. Skin on Syclla is also crisp clean. I have her in the mail, hopefully she'll come soon enough.

Thier armor has nipples and a nice little patch down south in the groin area. The rest of the model is sculpted great. I just question why they did that. Was it really necessary? It doesn't really add anything to the model. For me, it detracts from the beauty of the models.

Spoiler:

While a lot of CB's other minis are a little bit lacking in taste (why combat heels? why?), I think that the Riot Grrls are the one set of models where a little bit of indecency makes sense. Part of the whole punk rock/riot grrl ethos is proving a point through shock, which definitely comes through.

I'm sure that most of you guys already are also on infinitytheforums, but for more inspiration, check out the official miniatures subforum for some more inspiration: http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/forum/22-miniatures/

Riot Grrlz as a unit name sort of hints that there would be little touches like that.

Yeah, I thought it was kind of the point. Plus its armor detailing so not exactly inappropriate. Exactly.

I have the spitfire Grrl, and I like the unit in terms of mechanics. The poses are a little static for me (they ARE in power armor so maybe it's on purpose) or I'd have the rest already.

Been a while but getting back into painting Infinity. Here's my finished Guija, reposting from my blog.

More pics over in my blog/gallery.


There was some top notch stuff on that last page there. Let's keep it going

Not sure about top notch but here's my Nomads! Still missing my proper camera so it's tablet pictures again :(

Needed something to fill the void until Warmachine Mk3 drops. I tend to find a very specific part of factions and focus on it, in this case that focus is on the Highlanders. Painting up a few models, played a single game and enjoyed it.

caylentor wrote:

Looks like your HVT is having an "Whoa! EPIC selfie" moment.

Great stuff guys

I like the bland two-tone grey nomad outfits. Seems like something you'd actually see in real life, and you've added enough spot color so they're interesting. Cool force.

Those highlanders look good too, the kilt patterns are convincing and they look ready to rumble.

Some really nice minis

@caylentor Looks very uniform and professional good job.

@studderingdave I like the albino Cameronian good choice of colour.

@ckig I love the greens on the Guija. It shows how effective a simple colour scheme is when it it well executed.

Finished painting Lt Stephen Rao.

Nice job on Rao. His hair is perfect

Finished the AP rifle Janissary from the starter box.

More, as always... link in sig.

Nice colour scheme on those nomads! Looks very.. ghostly.

More of my Highlanders on the block. Ordered a Traktor Mul and Dozer as well as McMurrough to round out my force.

My current project, a Riot Grrl with scratchbuilt ML.

That looks fancy. Sweet.

That's an incredible conversion. It definitely captures the feel of the Riot Grrls very well. When can we expect to see it painted?

GrimDork wrote:That looks fancy. Sweet.

Thanks

youidiotkid wrote:That's an incredible conversion. It definitely captures the feel of the Riot Grrls very well. When can we expect to see it painted?

Thank you, It totally depends on how I can get enough time and motivation to paint her. Since I'm going to attened two tournaments during the next two weeks I might be distracted with list building and test games. Thus I might finish her and her sister somewhen after these two weeks, but I've already started painting their Bases

New edition, new paint scheme. Hope to get it better on the next model. Bolts and Bagh Mari should look lovely with pink helmets.

Very cool work guys!

Not enough pink minis in my book

And that ML conversion Riot Girl looks great.

If you put some Black Ink on the recesses of those Haqq, instead of the brown.... the whole mini, pants, etc..

I think it would really make them sharper.

Remember, practice, practice, practice.

Druze is a bit blurry but looks good.

Thanks Not sure why the phone camera was having trouble focusing on that mini :/

Phone cameras! Arrgghhh!

I shouldn't say that actually because some are excellent these days (although some still have very slow lenses, my s4 mini in particular is useless for this kind of thing).

Lovely colour combinations though, the bright blue hair contrasts nicely with the brown overalls.

Heya! Sure, I made a tutorial on my whole process with an example... skin's just one part, but easy and fast.
http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/29491-killionaires-tutorial-joan-of-arc-in-90-minutes/

Basically for these guys, I picked two colors: The near-lightest tone the skin will be, and the darkest tone.
Primed everything white.
Put a thinned layer of 'light skintone' on them.
Put a washed layer of 'dark skintone' on them.
Put another washed layer if I wanted more contrast.
For the highest points where I need to do a quick highlight, I put a tiny dab of the light tone layer back on top.

Really quite simple and just follows the 'paint light, wash down' principle to minimize non-wash brush strokes that generate not-smoothness.

You did a nice job on the eyes behind those glasses.

Another 10 days have passed. Another painted mini.

More, as always in my P&M blog.

That's just beautiful.. *sniff*

Yep, all sorts of awesome in here as usual.

Great looking work Red.

Some in game nonsense that went down this past Friday as I learn this game. Double Chain Rifle cleared a bunch of stuff. Second pic is Wallace getting some combat in before dying.

Hi infinity pals! I just finished my first mini for a nomads team. Pretty happy with him and I'm stoked to paint some more!! It's been a while since I painted red like this cheers guys! Happy painting! (By the way, the pic is big so a click to the gallery will show its true resolution)

Got something new done:



You might take a look here to see what it is

Just getting started on my Operation Icestorm started pack. I thought I'd give my Nomads a green based color scheme.

 studderingdave wrote:

Nice Studder! And dammit, I need to paint some Shasvastii and get back in the game

- Salvage

Nice greens there Jayden, and I usually don't like base markings but I like the subtle base markings you have on yours.

It's nice to see someone else doing green Nomads. Good job on them.

Cross-Posted from my Tutorial on the Infinity official forums on how to rapidly wash-paint up Ariadna...



http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/43879-killionaires-tutorial-alt-pose-isobel-mcgregor-in-90-minutes/

Had a lot of fun trying to use the fastest techniques and keep myself under time.
Went for the 'Tiger Stripe' pattern:
http://www.collectionstash.com/files/535f07bf-e1dc-4e0d-9f5e-22f6c0331820.jpg

Not sure what your timer was limited to, but that mini has come out stunning.

She looks great and I have to say, I much prefer the modified pose over the stock one. So, what you did was basically thin down all of your paints to a wash-like consistency and the only actual wash used was Agrax Earthshade? And, just to clarify, you used bone as the base color for the uniform? I'm going to have to try this.

Green Alguaciles and Mobile Brigada work well, since they can be a part of a Haqq sectorial too. Nice work.

That Isobel reminds me of how some porcelain minis are painted, with the very de-saturated look. An effective technique.

Ah, a nasmat

Thanks! Pretty much that's what the whole technique is. Works with a lot of ranges of colors.
Basic core principle is: basecoat everything the light shade. Then just wash dark and let drying properties of thinned, washy paint do the rest. Shade down, and highlight edges as need be.

Really does look amazingly effective. Planning to try this technique for my Onyx Force whenever it arrives.

Did up a couple HVTs today...

Iguana and its little buddy, who required a tactical rock (tm) to prevent him from falling over!

[

Very nice.

Although I'd love to see some white markings or stripes to really make it pop.

Good, clean job though!

What miniature line is the snake mgs parody from? I'd like to pick one up for use in infinity and mercs recon.

It's been a while since I've posted here but I've had fun trawling through what I've missed. So much good stuff! I have finally finished my Yu Jing Guijia, which I've been working on off and on all month and i'm really happy with the result!

As well you should!

Yet another HVT:

Hey all finished this the other day and figured I'd post again in this proper forum. Happy with it. The pictures are huge so clicking cleans up the res and you can zoom :p



And a group shot of the three finished. Standard scheme, nothing special.

Been working on this chap for a game on the weekend. Still need to clean up his base and finish the metallics on the gun, but I'm happy with it.

Awesome . I just got that guy in the mail.

Really like how yours has turned out, great work!

Awesome stuff further up the page too.

Nice pink on that pig

Dat ass, on the Mobile Brigada. (well, you did put it in the center of the montage Bebops.)

Azra'il looks good. And nice to see that you did not include a skull on the base, like in the studio photo.

Ah, the medical nasmat finally done. I do like the nasmats. Very cool minis, and fun to paint.

more in the blog.

Some random flailings over the weekend

Work in progress, but the old girl is finally back together at least. I've spent the day getting the underbelly done (the legs have been done a while). Still got a lot of work on the body. Lots of green and tan highlighting, and the yellow. Guns will go on when they're done as well.

Sum kinda suspicious merc fella

Saw this on the FB group.

Nice work, Col.

Finished up Van Zant

That Van Zant looks fantastic wonderful skin colours.

I have found a use for the HSN3 Druze hacker as a stand in for a Locust seems to fit in when painted in PanO colours also started working on an Aquila guard.

Icarium's INFINITY Blog
Icarium
Miscellaneous

New to Infinity but massively hooked, I have been looking for somewhere to see and share Infinity models and finally found this link. I was previously feeling good about my painting but since browsing this thread (the chrome bikers!!!! JESUS) I now feel a lot less confident. Infinity seems to inspire the best painters to pick up their models.

I've only just got started with Operation Icestorm as I have some how managed to convince my girlfriend to play Ininity. I have taken the Nomads and she has taken the Pan O. Here are my first three Corregidor Algulacile. Not happy with the womans face and may need to downgrade the lipstick but otherwise happy with my start. Apologies for the quality of the pics I will attempt new ones in the future once I photograph the Shock Army troops.







Great to see so many inspiring minatures on here. Keep up the good work and don't be offended if I steal your colour scheme.

Very nice work, good contrast with the colour scheme.

And I like the fine detail on the bases, really compliments the rest of the miniatures well.

Finally both Prowlers are finished

I'm still working on my minis, but here's a look at my table.




Better idea of the lights and convertibility.

I like those prowlers. And that's a fancy city. The lights are pretty neat and it looks like a fun board on which to play. Is it bigger than 4x4? Kinda looks it to me. Ehh then again maybe it's just the way it sits on the table in the first photo.

It appears to be four Micro Arts Studios Warehouse mats, so it would be 8x8. However, they appear to be mirrored and flipped, so I'm guessing it was scanned, digitally manipulated, and then printed off, so it is possible that it was scaled down during that process.

That table is quite amazing! I like the lighting.

Also since Tagline is a thing by next month (rumor has it that the pilots will be counted as specialists) I paintet my Lizard pilot (More pics in my own thread):

That's exactly what I did. It allowed me to mirror it as well for more variety. It is 4x4 (on 2 2x4 pieces of gatorboard).

Speedpainting the new Infinity Operation Red Veil minis.

Couple of Zhanshi from Red Veil and a Haqqislam HVT.

Loving the purple and black Loki!

That gaming board is ridiculous!

I'm playing on a table tennis table with the cardboard buildings from Operation Icestorm (note to self sort terrain out).

I have finished the Pan O line troops and opted for a Shock Army of Acontecimento scheme. Now they are finished I can move onto more exciting models, not that any Infinity madels are boring.







First up is a proxy model for the Moran Maasai Hunter. In the background these are supposed to be bad ass African warriors...the current models look like hobbits compared to the new sculpts. So after an internet search I came up with this guy...



I've tried to paint African spot face paint on him but it doesn't come out so well in the photos. Now this guy looks the part. Big, imposing and hopefully willing to sneak up on the Nisse and blow his fething head off. His high BS is frustrating.....

That is a very nice Moran proxy! Wheredyagetit?

It's Saint Isaac from the Dark Age minature range.

Nomad Corregidor Force progress continues. Spectre is now a Bandit and the Grenzer is now an Intruder. Dealing with the dreaded Nisse nicely so far.



Next up the Iguana...(He has been a big disappointment so far in games)

Are you using a Dark Ages mini for a Moran?

Here's a couple new Haqqislam models I recently painted.

Le Muet: done!

I've painted some more stuff! Despite ridiculous heatwaves. I was going to wait until they were dullcoted but the weather is so humid right now it's not conducive to spray sealing.

Al Fasid HMG. I liked painting this guy.



Captain Pouches. This guy has been in progress for a year, which tells you how much I disliked painting him. In the end I just forced myself through finishing him.



The Last Ghazi. Similarly she's been in progress since I did my other Ghazi but I never go around to finishing her.




Khawarij. I loved painting this guy. Bring that boxed set out CB!

Nice Work on the Al Fasid. I must say that I like the mini now that I've had a chance to see it in person.

And nice work to all. Whole lot of muted colors though guys. Infinity is supposed to be bright, bright, bright!

Ah, here's a study in secondary colors, a Zhanshi

More views in my P&M thread. Head on over and see.

And here's the Male Zhanshi

More photos in my blog, as always.

Here's the final Zhanshi.


More, of course, in my P&M Blog.

Excellent stuff lately folks

Well done there Red!

Thanks, α-rius. The Yu Jing minis are proving quite fun to paint.

Ninja Done

More in my P&M Blog.

That Ninja is a beaut.

Knowing how small some of the detail is on that mini, that's some very, very precise work there.

More ninja.

The ninjas look good, if bright.

Thank it all they get Thermo-Optic Camo, eh?

In the cheerful brightness of the near future, not being bright would make a ninja as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake.

I like the white ninja, hindenberg. Nice color choices.

Finished the Tiger soldier. I'd name it Toni, but... y'know.

More in my P&M thread. Link in my sig.

She's Grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Here are a few of mine. They have not been based yet, and the pictures are not too good (the white unpainted looking bits are actually glare from the flash - I checked!) but this is a starter.

Spektr


Mobile Brigada


Reveren Healer

Finally getting some pictures of my Ariadna done up and thought I'd add them into the thread.







While the Devil Dogs aren't the best models on the table I'm looking forward to getting in a game with all three teams just to see how it plays out.

Nice color combo. Very pleasing to the eye.

master of ordinance, Reverend Healer doesn't want to stay on that base (Knee hanging off) Seems to be a new thing with Infinity sculpts.

Hsein HMG done.

To my P&M blog to see more.

Here's the Zuyong.

Rest of the photos, and the Yu Jing starter box family shot in my blog.

Here's the Combi-rifle Spektr from the Nomad Starter boc

While I'm not an active Infinity player/collector (I mainly paint 40k mini's, and don't even play that game), I have painted my first Infinity miniature and thought I'd pop it in here to show a crowd that may appreciate it more than my usual 40k followers... and that it may be something you haven't seen if you're not following my (mainly 40k) blogs.

I painted her to match my multiped tank, rather than any official scheme.

My Szalamandra pilot:

Hey, dude! Good to see you, even better to see you here. I haven't ventured into P&M yet but I'll be over soon, I'm sure you've been coming up with lots of great stuff these last couple of years!

The Szally pilot looks great, well done. How did you find painting at that scale? Looking forward to seeing the rest of that big beast in your thread too!

Don't get too excited, this is only 1 of 2 Infinity figures that I have. They were part of a prize from one of Gits' Mantis-maker contests.
I do like the Infinity aesthetic, in general. But the single-pose, metal nature makes them less useful to my converting crazes.
This one fitted the tank without the need to do anything. I've not found a use for the other one yet...

I've been keeping myself busy, yeah. Drop on by and kill an hour (or 4).

Thanks. I actually quite enjoyed the painting; partly due to it being a change of pace from the previous couple of projects. Didn't have a problem with the size/scale. I even painted her eyes (with pupils an' everything), which I don't normally do; I get the impression that CB exaggerates different features to what GW does.
That tank was a nice kit to build too.

Looking good Doc. But then, I already said that. No harm in repeating the praise, eh?

More in my blog. So head on over. BYOB.

Good job yourself.

Still not dragged my backside over to P&M yet, don't know where to start!

That's really awesome, Red. You freehand that shoulder?

Bloody help thats some awesome work, again!

Cracking job also Dr H, thats a neat touch with the base edge. Can I ask what the big walker miniature is?

It's the HAW-206 multi-legged tank from Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone complex

Thanks Pacific.
The base edge is to add a unifying element to my army.

If you have not visited my (mad) army blog: As an excuse to build and paint a wide range of models with no limitations to army lists, game rules, etc. I conceived the plan to build an army that is made up of "brainwashed" members of all other armies (and eventually game systems). I'm also creating fluff and rules for the army.

As each individual is painted in their original colour scheme there is no uniform to the army; this may cause confusion* on the battlefield (one of mine may get accidentally included in my opponent's army). I have yet to play a game (and don't hold out hope of finding many willing opponents) and focus on the modelling side of things.

*The point of the army fluff is that it's based on a (mad) scientist that is a believer of "true" chaos, which by it's very nature should be confusing.

Can I ask what the big walker miniature is?

Tristan228 is correct; the Kenbishi heavy industries HAW206 prototype multiped tank. I got the 1:35 kit from HobbyLinkJapan. https://hlj.com/product/KBYKP-259

WIP of Tarik Mansuri. Hopefully I can get him finished for a game tomorrow. Just need to finish his Spitfire.

Looks great man. Is that green a base, layer, highlight deal?

Basecoat of Vellejo Game Colour Camo Green, wash with Army Painter Strong Tone Ink, layer raised areas with VGC Camo Green again, mid-shade highlight with 50/50 VGC Camo Green and P3 Thrall Flesh, final highlight of P3 Thrall Flesh.

Ahh, that's why it's so smooth, thanks for posting it. It brings up the little plates on the legs particularly well.

My favourite part of the new Haqqislam aesthetic is the segmented, squared off armour plates. I like the look with the well defined lines between them.

Unfortunately it's also what discourages me from painting them faster, because it's such a pain.

Slow it may be but worth your effort, it looks great. By the way where did you get your bases, they aren't the CB ones are they, the lip looks smaller.

Bases are just the stock bases with sand - washed Army Painter Soft Tone, drybrushed P3 Jack Bone, then Army Painter Skeleton Bone. Rocks are made out of broken up cork tile, painted P3 Idrian Flesh, washed with Army Painter Strong Tone, then drybrushed Idrian Flesh, then about 30/70 White and Idrian Flesh.

Finished another old model that's been in my backlog for far too long - the mighty Maghariba. Now to get it on the table a bunch of times before my willpower check fails and I buy the new one.

Nice one, I think it was the angle of the pictures, it looks like the base has no bevelled edge. Yeh better get some use out of the old girl before you cave and she ends up shelved. Worse things to have on your shelf though!

Building my Vanilla Yu Jing Army. Waiting on a few more models, then to fill the tiny gaps and a painting marathon!

It has a bevelled edge. That's the main reason I ordered a base rather than just buying some mini CD's. Took a while to find an 80mm plain bevelled edged base.

It's just not as prominent as on a normal base because it's twice the thickness.

I was still talking about Tarik Mansuri.

@SN, nice line up, dude. Get some paint on 'em!

 Casey's Law wrote:

Still bevelled. All of my Haqq are on standard bevelled CB bases with sand and rocks made of cork tile. The only one that isn't is the Maggy, which didn't come with a CB base so I ordered a bevelled plain base.

Haha yeh I know, I was just clarifying why I asked the question originally.

SuperNewb, you'll find that those Yu Jing from the starter box paint up nicely. I was very pleased with the minis, and I don't even play Yu Jing. Just be careful with the Hsien's sword. It sticks way out from the base, and is easily bent.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm still building additional troops and have run into some snags with huge gaps that need filling with Green Stuff. For example, the back pack of the Su Jian does not fit at all! I have sanded it, tried to bend it, and basically resounded to glue it in place and then fill the large gaps. The head of the model does not touch the back pack as it's supposed to, so I may have to bridge the gap with Green Stuff.

I also am a bit frustrated about the lack of good 360 degree photos to rotate and the lack of any building instructions anywhere online. I'm still trying to figure out how to put the backpack/gun assembly for the Yan Huo HMC. The same with the Shaolin Monks. Lots of bits, no instructions, LOL. 4 heads, but not sure which ones go on which body!

Slowly but surely. Still having fun with it!

I built it recently and had zero issues. Backpack fit fine.

Haven't done this in a while, so I dug out all of my Haqqislam. Everything I've painted:



Pile of shame.

Boooooooo!

Maybe he's proxying it as a TAG?

Yeah, an S12 one!

Much like the Maghariba, this has been in my queue for about 2 years waiting to be finished.

Weird, I completely missed that. Looks good, Loki!

I couldn't sleep so I decided to play about with photoshop, test some colour schemes and make a template so I can do it again whenever I want. Bit rough around the edges but I knocked out a couple of variations for my Nomads. May as well post it here:

Spoiler:

EVO Repeater Kameel finished. Here he is sitting next to his TR buddy.

I know what you mean, Keezus! I keep having to stop myself from adding things, I ended up pulling right back on it near the end oddly enough, dropped down to one bust and I'll add a couple more things in Backerit. Before that I was about to buy it all but I just don't have a use for most of it, Kickstarter is the devil.

Good job, Loki! At least someone around here is keeping the brushes wet! You not kept up the ole blog?

I've just been wasting more time on photoshop because... reasons.

I might redo these using the render, those arm sections are hell to recolour. I also think I'll end up using desert sand and olive drab rather than one or the other.

I feel like the stock scheme is a bit cartoonish for Morats and I want to paint mine up with a bit more realism. So I tried out some more realistic skin and hair tones and added some racial diversity, I quite like how it came out. As much as a like the teal and aqua armour, I might use it for another project so I'll try a few more options next.

I really don't need to post these here but it seems silly to wake up my blog for this and I want to record it somewhere.

I discovered long ago my painting pace is not conducive with keeping a plog going. I'm content to throw pictures in here.

Yeh fair enough, this thread turned out to be way more useful, and popular, than I imagined.

More photoshop, honing the overall look for my Bakunin.

I'll be very impressed if anyone gets the obscure reference in there.

Personal best - three and a half weeks, seven finished miniatures from metal to done.

Started with Leila Sharif, since I really want to use her more. While painting here, I figured I might try to knock out a couple of really old models from my collection. So I grabbed the last two 1st edition Ghulam, the Hacker and HMG. As I neared finishing them, I decided to also knock out my three Hafza. As they neared completion, I decided to do my Al Hawwa Hacker. Then I decided that was enough and I really shoudl just finish painting them all.

With her my Moderator corps comprises eight models
the Hacker

I converted up some Shikami for my JSA.

I'd picked up another player's excess YJ a while back, and they included a Hac-tao and a Zuyong, neither of which I could use in my YJ, so I was proxying them as my Shikami (HI) - since there was no concept art or idea of what they looked like.

Recently (Rumble on Rt66 or Adepticon) they showed dossier concept art for them. So I decided to try my hand sculpting some O-yoroi Hakama and kasa/jingasa (not sure which is more accurate) - conical hats onto these models to make them look more like what they are proxying as.



Contender on the left, combi rifle on the right.

Apart from that, my corregidor got some Banguars (they will be both my Jaguars and my Bandits, depending on need (there is a 5th with a glue-gun) that I'm still working on.

2nd from right can be light shotgun, combi or boarding shotgun - damn, his sword seems to have fallen off (standard nomad sword from the spec ops kit, I'm not a fan of the weird squared off machete thing the bandits have).

And I finished gun rack #1 for my Gecko Hangar. Holds 3 long arms - 2 combis and a mk12, and will have empty slots for whichever loadout my gecko has (so there'll be one with a single mk12 in it, the other will have two combis).

Finally got around to getting Scarface painted up.





Only a handful more models to finish up in my current list.

I used to be able to do stubble as well as that, but man I need to get cracking again...

I'm new to Infinity game actually new to wargaming.

These are my first Infinity minis. They are a small pain in the butt to assemble and paint cause
of the tiny details but the minis are gorgeous. I really like their style.

Mein Gott! Your first miniatures?!

Those are badass. I hate you a tiny bit.

Thanks mate.

My first Infinity minis and my first miniature wargame. I've been painting for a while now, but I've never played a wargame before till recently.
I've enjoyed the painting side of the hobby.

Modock, they are awesome

Hello all - I've shown my table in here before but have now added some stuff from CNC (raised areas, apartments, Torii arch) and Antenoctis (waste reclamation unit, vehicles) - more MDF, less cardboard -









Still loads to do - foliage on the planters, vines on the apartments, graffiti, more buildings, more vehicles, a lander for the landing pad. Cost now up from £crikeythatsalot to £coughsplutterhowmuch!?!, but I don't care, labour of love

More pics in my sig below, I hope you like it - cheers all.

Nice table of terrain, Darkjim. And kudos on the unrealistically clean and organized gaming/hobby room.

Nice work on the painting, everyone else.

Thanks dude

That's a fabulous looking table DarkJim, have to say one of the best I have seen. Must be a joy to play on!

Love some of the smaller details (little travel pods in the parking bays etc) really think those bring it to life.

Thank you very much Pacific. As soon as I find some Infinity players in the Lakes I'll let you know how it plays

Finished my army centerpiece.

Absolutely awesome, Modock. I'd sell my soul to be able to paint like that. Or lease it out anyway.

I've seen your work, I bet you could do it. It just takes time with an hairy brush like it took me to paint it.

Thanks dude I'm afraid my eyes are old and bent (to quote The Life Of Brian), but I am definitely inspired to try harder on my next batch.

My Riot Grrls are done! Finally

Fantastic job with those, really like the colour scheme - think actually a nicer combination than on the official studio minis!

Oh, thank you!
I actually totally forgot to provide a Link to close up pics of them in my personal painting thread.

Decided to do Nomads for the FLGS escalation league. I painted the Mobile Brigadas a while back but had to spend some time this week and finish up the Aguiciles as well as 4 Die Morlock Gruppe and their Warcor friend. They were quite a hit with the other players. I was prepared to borrow some Morlocks I painted for a friend's Nomads since they're hardly ITC legal, but nobody complained and all the people I played against were very encouraging of the proxy Morlocks since they actually fit the Morlock fluff and statline so well.

I hope this is okay to post here.

I really wanted to get the Joan of Arc limited edition model that came with the A.G. masterclass book, but did not wish to pay inflated eBay prices for just the model.

CMON has the book with the figure on sale right now - $35.39 shipped in the US.

Love the Turtles, well done

Bit of a cross-section of Nomads I've picked up over the last few years it seems. Starting to realize I might have a problem between 3 armies.

Awesome paint job and bse design! Is your Vortex Spec-ops model your fifth (Spitfire) Riot Grrl?

After exactly one year and nine days she's finally finished

Thank ya. Yeah, I'm ultra pissed at Photobucket. I'm going to try and put them back up, plus a new one I did for Jethro in the future.

My sixth Riot Grrl

Finally making progress on my Combined Army painting backlog. Still have a lot more to get through but here are my latest:

Hot damn - those are fantastic!!!

Thanks! Really enjoying painting these minis. Seem like the hardest part is trying to avoid distraction and stick to finishing a model. I'm trying to use that Avatar sitting on the shelf as motivation for me to finish all the Morat Vanguard and Unidrons.

I've made some progress on my Nomads army. Some freshly painted minis, well not all.

Achilles and Dactyl from my latest game

Nicely done all.

Finished the Red Veil and Beyond Yu Jing.

More in my P&M blog. Link in my sig. Drop on by.

Splendid force, mate!

The Family is getting bigger.

Thanks, Modock. I do admit, I like the way you've managed the orange. Very stylish on the remote.

Here's a Grenzer, in red ochre and burnt siena. i'm getting away from the orange.

More in my blog. Do drop in. Combat Jump, Tactical Jump, however you want...

Oo, I did another Infinity-related thing.

Good work everyone, BTW.

I built a mech workshop and forklift as terrain, with Infinity in mind for a change.
Both together:


and many workshop photos:


and many forklift photos:

I mashed two building products from two makers (plastcraft in Poland and Warmill in the UK) for my police watch-house building.

A small amount of electronics (8 LED static array, using red and yellow LEDs that I've had for years).

Look good, Chromedog. I'm always jealous of people who can manage LED stuff well. My attempts have always ended awfully.

Went down a treat over the weekend (we just had a 32 player tournament). Most of the players loved it.

ONE guy, just had to one-up me, though.

His table had EL wire lighting (that flickered, too) around most of the buildings. Trying to source a non fb video

Salutations ^^

My first JSA with L5R Crane Clan scheme with sushi token objectives ^^

Just finished up the Imperial Army starter, a counts-as Rui-Shi (the new aleph bot) and some extra Zhanshi to fill out my Yu Jing army for an ITS tomorrow. Need to proxy a few figures that aren't out yet, but should be fun times

Looks great - love the yellow/white/black limited palette.

Thanks, they did me proud today, too. Went major 10-0 victory over Merovingia in Frostbyte turn 1, major 9-1 victory over Tonguska in Looting & Sabotaging in round 2, and then lost to vanilla Haqqislam 2-8 in Highly Classified that would have almost certainly been an 8-2 major victory except time was called as we were finishing round 2 so we couldn't play out the 3rd turn. Still good enough to take 2nd place out of 11 players and had a blast doing it!
